DISCUSSION: Considered to be one of Picasso's monumental linoleum prints, this large-scale work captures the essence of this artist's innovation and minimalist creativity. His simple lines curve and undulated together to form the characters of the piece: the woman - feminine and robust, the horse - whimsical and characteristic, and the picador - strong and masculine. All three subjects create a triad composition making way for a harmonious and balanced piece. The entire work exudes an air of femininity and mystery, all set against a backdrop of a misty grey helping to create Picasso's sensual environment of intrigue. Created on September 25, 1959, this work was published from the Edition Galerie Louise Leiris in 1960, printed by Arnéra on Arches block watermarked paper. Hand signed by Pablo Picasso [1881 - 1973] in pencil in the lower right margin, the work is numbered 37/50 in pencil in the lower left margin.
